Clarification needed: To an Apple computer.
It’s not clear whether Logitech is the only party at fault here. WiMax could be conflicting with BT, and since WiMax is proprietary, the blame for that rests on Apple.
Logitech MX Products are incompatible with AirPods

Also annoying that the unifying receiver doesn't work with a Thunderbolt dock. I tried using it for a while and got a lot of lag and stuttering. It was really bad. So now I have a Thunderbolt dock that everything else uses, and a single USB-C to USB-A adapter hanging off the laptop just for the precious unifying receiver. I'd be less annoyed if it was USB-C plugged in directly, but still not happy. Previously I used…
Which dock do you use? I also have the same issue but it was the dock's issue in my case. [1] https://www.caldigit.com/wireless-keyboard-mouse-not-working...
That's the dock I have. Someone else posted a link to a white paper from Intel that mentions this is a USB 3 issue, not one specific to the dock, but it is good to see Caldigit offers the same solution on their site that is mentioned by Intel. That gives me a reasonable amount of confidence that it will work.

> They're probably staying silent because here in Canada at least, this could be violating federal laws. Could you elaborate?
I think he's referring to some Canadian equivalent to the "this device may not cause harmful interference" FCC warning label we have on wireless devices.
Harm in the spec specifically means personal injury or leading to personal injury. Headphones not working is an inconvenience. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves here.

Yeah, I have had the same issue with my jabra headset for years on a cal digit TS3. It goes away if I plug it into a separate USB port on the MacBook. My guess as to the problem is the bandwidth allocation and prioritization on the thunderbolt. But that’s a wild ass guess.
Check out some of the other comment in the thread here. It sounds like it's an issue with USB 3 and can be resolved with a USB extension cable to move the receiver away from the rest of the ports.

Was it the fact that it was connected to your dock that caused the lagging and stuttering issue or was it the location of the receiver when it is plugged into the dock? The reason I ask is I have noticed this issue too when too many things are placed between the receiver and the device.
From the other comments here it sounds like an issue with USB 3 that can be resolved with a USB extension cable.
I didn't have anything other than the laptop between the receiver and the mouse. I was going to try and move it closer to see if it helped, but with some of the other cables plugged into it, I can't really move it much.

#116Tangentially related: I’ve found that if I use a specific USB type C extension cable with my USB/DP dock, my MX Master 3 stops working reliably over BT or Logitech's Unified receiver - even on other computers. I think the extension cable throws off interference in the 2.4GHz range. Other 2.4 GHz devices seem to have some issues too when I do that, but the mouse in particular is unusable. Has anyone experienced something like that?

I've also found that if I used the Logitech "unifying" adapter, I _still_ had significant 2.4Ghz spectrum interference -- the Logitech adapter was causing my bluetooth headset (also in the 2.4Ghz spectrum) to have significant connectivity issues, and was also causing interference with some game controllers that operated on the 2.4Ghz spectrum in the same room. The Logitech devices connected to that dongle (an MX Mast…
I don't understand how Logitech mice are so popular given how frequently they fail due to switch problems. Everyone I know, from casual users to gamers, has had problems with logitech mouse button failures. Sometimes within months of purchase, even on their high end gaming mice that cost well north of $100, the buttons will stop working or start double-clicking.
I've used Logitech mice for the last 20 years or more and have never had a button fail.

I dunno, if you haven't run into audio or video interference on a wired device, you're lucky or have quality cables. I've definitely picked up radio stations on headphones or had nearby electrical currents induce an annoying buzz in a microphone or distort a video signal.
> I've definitely picked up radio stations on headphones Not exactly the same, but makes me reminisce the days of the iPod nano. It offered FM radio using the headphone cables as an antenna. I haven’t seen that supported anywhere since, which is a shame because I’d really like to get local stations on my phone.
Most phone chipsets actually implement this functionality. However the carriers tend not to approve its enablement.

Many people had issues with USB3 hubs. I gave up on using USB3 hubs and changing cables didn't help

I have terrible connectivity and interference with wires! As soon as I stand up my headphones become violently disconnected from my computer. Cables also interfere with each other and all the other items on my desk.
Did those headphones cost more or less than AirPods? Somehow, musicians and producers have worked for decades with wired headphones just fine. Beyerdynamic headphones can go for less than $200 and have a long straight cord or a coiled cord that stays out of the way.
I personally wouldn't want to run in those headphones.
